METHOD OF FORMING PACKAGES OF PAPER BAGS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,888, dated October20, 1885.

Application filed August 4, 188%.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIS M. HUNT, of Glen Gardner, ,in the county ofHunterdon and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and ImprovedMethod of Forming Packages of Paper Bags, of which the following is afull, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved package ofpaper bags in which the bags are held together in such a manner thatthey can be pulled from the package very easily, the package hangs well,occupies very little space, and the bags cannot be displaced.

The invention consists ofthe hereinafter described and claimed method ofuniting bags to form a package.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front View of my improved paper-bag package. Fig. 2 is aside view, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the same.

A number of paper bags, A, are placed on each other in such a mannerthat their edges are flush. They are then pressed firmly together and atransverse slit or cut, B, is made in the upper edges of the severalbags, in which slit or cut a cord, 0, coated with glue or other adhesivematerial, is placed, whereby the several bags will adhere to the cord 0in such a manner that they are held together, but can easily be detachedseparately or in numbers from the package without ripping the bags. Thecord 0 passes out through the Serial No. 139,560. (No model.)

slit or cut in the top, and a loop, D, may or may not be formed by thecord 0 on one side of the package, and by means of the said loop thepackage can be suspended from a nail or hook projecting from a counter,wall, post, &c.

By means of my improvement the bags can be united very readily to form apackage ready to be suspended.

The bagsoan be detached from the package easily and rapidly. The packagehas a neat appearance, as the edges of all the bags are flush.

No paper chips or scraps fall upon the counter or floor when detachingbags. No bag-holder is required.

The bags come off one by one, as required, and no bags except the onedetached comes off.

A cord, ribbon, or wire of any kind, covered with glue, may be used forthe purpose described herein.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent The herein-described method ofuniting bags to form apackage, consisting in providing the bags in corresponding edges withslits, and placing a cord covered with glue or other adhesive materialin the slits of the several bags forming the package, substantially asherein shown and described.

WVILLIS M. HUNT.
